Below the operation of embodiments of the invention will be discussed at first.

The registration of the required information of issue digital content will at first be described below.

When the user asked to issue digital content, by WWW browser access contents distribution terminal 100, and this user imported the user and registers request the user in user terminal 200.

When the input user registered request, user terminal 200 required this user by importing necessary user profile with communicating by letter of contents distribution terminal 100.In response to this input requirement, this user inputs Main classification, subclassification, user ID, password, issue destination address, date issued, issuing time, the space of a whole page number, maximum page number and font size as user profile.Then, user profile is sent to contents distribution terminal 100.

In contents distribution terminal 100, when receiving user profile in response to the registration request, S100 is registered in the user profile that is received in the user profile table 300 to S114 by step.

Hereinafter the issue of digital content will be described with reference to user profile table 300.

In the contents distribution terminal 100 of reference user profile table 300, at the date and time that should issue digital content, from user profile table 300, read classification number, according to the classification number that is read the digital content in the content registered database 44 is searched for, and find the digital content of the classification number that the classification number that has and read is complementary by step S204 and S206.Next, by step S208 to S212, from user profile table 300, read the space of a whole page number, from user profile registered database 40, read template applications rule with reference to space of a whole page corresponding tables 330 corresponding to the reading space of a whole page number, and determine according to the template applications that read rule the output space of a whole page of the digital content that found therefore to generate the digital content that will provide.

In the process of layout, at first pass through step S300 to S304, layout area on the homepage 360 is set to process object, from template registered database 42, reads Page Template, and the Page Template that is read is applied to current layout area 360 according to the template applications rule that is read.Next, to S314, the Page Template that is read is applied to current layout area 360, and determines fixedly position, the shape of fixed character information and the shape and the position of position and still image information of lines in order by step S306.

Figure 15 A is the sketch that is used to illustrate the process of layout to 15D.In the example of 15D, from content registered database 44, found two pieces of articles at Figure 15 A, and wherein one piece of article is stored in the information stores frame 600.In this case, because information stores frame 600 has been stored the article with a little information, shown in Figure 15 A, the lower end of information stores frame 600 is upwards shortened, to dwindle information stores frame 600.In addition, in information stores frame 602, second zone of layout area 360 is set to moving area 604, and direction left is set to have the movable direction of first priority, and the direction that makes progress is set to have the movable direction of second priority.

Next, select information stores frame 602 by step S316.Then, in information stores frame 602, direction left is set to have the movable direction of first priority, and information stores frame 602 can edge direction left move in moving area 604.Therefore, shown in Figure 15 B,, in moving area 604,, and move to the left end of moving area 604 along left direction mobile message storage box 602 by step S400, S412 and S414.

Then, in information stores frame 602, the direction that makes progress is set to have the movable direction of second priority, and information stores frame 602 can make progress mobile in moving area 604.Therefore, shown in Figure 15 C, by step S416 to S412, mobile message storage box 602 upwards in moving area 604, and move to the upper end of moving area 604.

Owing to another movable direction is not set in information stores frame 602,, has therefore determined the space of a whole page of information stores frame 602, shown in Figure 15 D so, another piece article is stored in the information stores frame 602 by step S416 and S422.

In addition, when making untreated information stores frame and the information stores frame of having handled overlapping when publishing result of information as storage in the information stores frame, by step S316, S400 and S402, select untreated information stores frame, and in moving area, move selected information stores frame along movable direction with first priority.When as the result who moves, selected information stores frame is still with another information stores frame when overlapping, and to S408, the movable direction that the edge has second priority in moving area moves selected information stores frame by step S404.When as the result who moves, when having eliminated,, selected article is stored in the selected information stores frame by step S422 with another information stores frame overlapping.On the contrary, when still with another information stores frame overlapping, in moving area, move selected information stores frame along movable direction with second priority.Move this information stores frame, up to moving this information stores frame along movable direction with lowest priority.After moving, during still with another information stores frame overlapping, by step S410, with selected information stores frame deletion along the movable direction with lowest priority.

Next, when in layout area 360, not having untreated information stores frame, by step S328, S400 and S406, the layout area on the subsequent page 360 is set to process object, the same storage operation of the complex phase of laying equal stress on.

Then, the repeated storage operation does not exist in the digital content that finds in step S206 and does not publish article.Therefore, all articles in the digital content that finds being included in publish, and have determined the output space of a whole page of digital content.When having determined the output space of a whole page, from user profile table 300, read the issue destination address by step S222 and S224, and the digital content that will provide that is generated is published to the issue destination address that is read.

In this way, in the present embodiment, can be in Page Template the movable direction of configuration information storage box, and contents distribution terminal 100 can be stored article according to the Page Template in the template registered database 42 in a plurality of information stores frames.When the result of storage operation overlaps each other a plurality of information stores frames, move overlapping information stores frame based on the movable direction that is provided with in the Page Template along movable direction, so that the information stores frame does not overlap each other.

Therefore, when the result of storage article overlaps each other a plurality of information stores frames, move these information stores frames along the specified direction of deviser.Therefore, compare, can more easily on the space of a whole page, reflect deviser's intention, and can obtain the suitable relatively space of a whole page, and not consider article content, information content and logical organization with conventional art.In addition, in the information stores frame, do not need to be provided with datum line, therefore, can improve the dirigibility of the space of a whole page relatively.

In addition, in the present embodiment, can be that an information stores frame is provided with a plurality of different movable directions in Page Template.Contents distribution terminal 100 can be along any one the mobile message storage box in a plurality of movable directions.As the mobile result of conduct, when the information stores frame still overlaps each other, along another direction mobile message storage box in a plurality of movable directions.

Therefore, under the situation that a plurality of information stores frames overlap each other, even when the information stores frame can not also can move this information stores frame along another specified direction of deviser when the specified direction of deviser moves, thus the dirigibility that has further improved the space of a whole page.

In addition, in the present embodiment, for a plurality of movable directions are provided with priority.Contents distribution terminal 100 is along the direction mobile message storage box that has limit priority in a plurality of movable directions.When the result who moves still overlaps each other a plurality of information stores frames, move this information stores frame along the direction in a plurality of movable directions with second high priority.

Therefore, when a plurality of information stores frames overlap each other, according to the specified priority choice direction successively of deviser, and along selected direction mobile message storage box.Therefore, can more easily on the space of a whole page, reflect deviser's intention, and can obtain the suitable relatively space of a whole page, and not consider article content, information content and logical organization.

In addition, in the present embodiment, can in Page Template, moving area be set for the information stores frame.Contents distribution terminal 100 is stored article according to the Page Template in the template registered database 42 in a plurality of information stores frames.When the result of storage article overlaps each other a plurality of information stores frames, in moving area, move overlapping information stores frame according to the moving area that is provided with in the Page Template, so that the information stores frame does not overlap each other.

Therefore, as the result of storage article when a plurality of information stores frames are overlapped each other, mobile these information stores frames in the specified zone of deviser.Therefore, compare, can more easily on the space of a whole page, reflect deviser's intention, and can obtain the suitable relatively space of a whole page, and not consider article content, information content and logical organization with conventional art.In addition, in the information stores frame, do not need to be provided with datum line, thereby can improve the dirigibility of the space of a whole page relatively.

In addition, in the present embodiment, contents distribution terminal 100 finds digital content according to the user profile in the user profile registered database 40 from content registered database 44.

Therefore, with reference to user's customizing messages and the specified Information Selection digital content of user, generate the relative consistent digital content that will provide thus with user's request.

In addition, in the present embodiment, contents distribution terminal 100 is determined the output space of a whole page of digital content, and generates the digital content that will provide according to the user profile in the user profile registered database 40.

Therefore, determine the output space of a whole page with reference to user's customizing messages and the specified information of user, the digital content that will provide of asking the output space of a whole page of relative unanimity with the user is provided in generation thus.

" flow object " in the foregoing description refer to when attempt with publish information stores too little and can not layout all this when publishing in the information stores frame of information, the part of overflowing from the information stores frame is published information.In addition, " flow object information frame " is meant that the information stores frame that is used to store flooding information, this information stores frame are assigned with and is used for storing this and overflows the information of publishing.

The operation of present embodiment will be discussed below.

In the process of layout, at first pass through step S300 to S304, layout area on the homepage 360 is set to process object, from template registered database 42, reads Page Template, and the Page Template that is read is applied to current layout area 360 according to the template applications rule that is read.Next, to S314, the Page Template that is read is applied to current layout area 360, and determines position, the shape of fixed character information and the shape and the position of position and still image information of static line in order by step S306.

Figure 20 A is used to illustrate the process of layout to 20C., in the example of 20C, when from content registered database 44, having found four articles, first piece of article is stored in the information stores frame 630 at Figure 20 A.Shown in Figure 20 A, information stores frame 630 is arranged in the first half of the layout area 360 on the homepage, the center that information stores frame 632 is arranged in the layout area 360 on the homepage is the below slightly, information stores frame 634 is arranged in the below of the layout area 360 on the homepage, and information stores frame 638 is arranged in the first half of the layout area 360 on second page.Information stores frame 632 and 634 is defined as group A.For group A, the Zone Full of the layout area 360 on second page is set to public moving area 636, and downward direction is set to public movable direction.

Next, by step S316 and S318, select information stores frame 632.Because information stores frame 632 is overlapping with information stores frame 630, so need be along public movable direction mobile message storage box 632 and 634.Though downward direction is set to organize the public movable direction of A, can not move down information stores frame 632 and 634.Therefore, to S606, S610 and S612, information stores

frame

632 and 634 integral body are moved to public moving area 636, by step S600 shown in Figure 20 B.

Then,, second piece of article is stored in the information stores frame 632, shown in Fig. 2 C, determines the space of a whole page of information stores frame 632 thus by step S626.Similarly, select information stores frame 634, and the 3rd piece of article is stored in the information stores frame 634, determine the space of a whole page of information stores frame 634 thus.

After this, select information stores frame 638.Because information stores frame 638 is overlapping with information stores frame 632 and 634, thus information stores frame 638 is moved down, so that it is not overlapping with information stores frame 632 and 634.Four articles is stored in the information stores frame 638, determines the space of a whole page of information stores frame 638 thus.

In this way, according to present embodiment, can in Page Template, public movable direction be set for group.When any one in the result who stores article in the information stores frame makes information stores frame group and another information stores frame were overlapping, contents distribution terminal 100 is along whole this information stores frame group that moves of public movable direction, and was overlapping to prevent the information stores frame.

Therefore, under the overlapping situation of any one in information stores frame group and another information stores frame, along the specified whole mobile message storage box of the direction group of deviser.Therefore, can more easily on the space of a whole page, reflect deviser's intention, and can obtain the more suitably space of a whole page, and not consider the content of the information of publishing, the quantity and the logical organization of information.

In addition, in the present embodiment, can in Page Template, a plurality of different public movable directions be set for group.Contents distribution terminal 100 is along one in a plurality of public movable directions whole mobile message storage box group.When the information stores frame still overlapped each other after moving, contents distribution terminal 100 was along another the whole mobile message storage box group in a plurality of public movable directions.

Therefore, under the overlapping situation of in information stores frame group any one and another information stores frame, even when information stores frame group can not be when the specified direction of deviser moves, information stores frame group also can move along another specified direction of deviser, thus the dirigibility that further improves the space of a whole page.

In addition, in the present embodiment, can in Page Template, public moving area be set for group.When any one in the result who stores article in the information stores frame makes information stores frame group and another information stores frame were overlapping, contents distribution terminal 100 is whole mobile message storage box group in public moving area, and was overlapping to prevent the information stores frame.

Therefore, when any one and another information stores frame in the information stores frame group are overlapping, whole mobile message storage box group in the specified zone of deviser.Therefore, can more easily on the space of a whole page, reflect deviser's intention, and can obtain the more suitably space of a whole page, and not consider the content of article, the quantity and the logical organization of information.

In addition, in the present embodiment, can in Page Template, a plurality of different public moving areas be set for group.Whole mobile message storage box group among contents distribution terminal 100 in a plurality of public moving areas.When moving back information stores frame and still overlap each other, whole mobile message storage box group in contents distribution terminal 100 another in a plurality of public moving areas.

Therefore, under the overlapping situation of in information stores frame group any one and another information stores frame, even when information stores frame group is can not be in the specified zone of deviser mobile, information stores frame group also can move in specified another zone of deviser, thus the dirigibility that further improves the space of a whole page.

In the foregoing description 1 to 3, in moving area along movable direction mobile message storage box.This setting is not particularly limited, therefore, and can be along desired direction mobile message storage box in moving area, and any movable direction need not be set.In addition, can be along movable direction mobile message storage box in layout area 360, and any moving area need not be set.

In addition, in the foregoing description 1 to 3, the priority of movable direction or moving area is appointed as publishing in proper order in the Page Template.This setting is not particularly limited, and therefore, the priority of movable direction or moving area can be by clear and definite regulation such as label.

In addition, in the foregoing description 1 to 3, mobile message storage box before the storage article.This setting is not particularly limited, and therefore can store article mobile message storage box later on yet.

In addition, in embodiment 2, can stride the page is that an information stores frame is provided with a plurality of moving areas.This setting is not particularly limited, and therefore can on a page a plurality of moving areas be set.

In addition, in embodiment 3, though deleted selected information storage box group in step S614, this setting is not particularly limited.Any one in the selected information storage box group can be deleted, and other selected information storage box group can be attempted moving once more.For example, can delete the selected information storage box group overlapping with the out of Memory storage box.

In addition, in the foregoing description 1 to 3, character information and image information are used as article information.Article information is not particularly limited, and therefore, for example the multi-medium data of moving-picture information, acoustic information and other type can be used as article data.

In addition, in the foregoing description 1 to 3, when the shape of dynamically determining the information stores frame and position, can generate the space of a whole page.This setting is not particularly limited, and therefore, can generate the space of a whole page by determine the shape and the position of each information stores frame afterwards again in all information stores frames that information are stored in the layout area 360 temporarily.

In addition, in the foregoing description 1 to 3, determine the output space of a whole page of digital content according to user profile.Therefore this setting is not particularly limited, and can determine the output space of a whole page of digital content according to the quantity of the character information that is comprised in the quantity of the image that is comprised in the digital content or the digital content.

Therefore, no matter digital content comprises in a large number or few images, and no matter digital content comprises in a large number or small numbers of characters information, can obtain to have the output space of a whole page of high relatively visuality.

In addition, in the foregoing description 1 to 3, handle by the layout of contents distribution terminal 100 execution in step S212.This setting is not particularly limited, and therefore, can carry out layout by user terminal 200 and handle.Therefore, can reduce processing load concentrating on contents distribution terminal 100.

Embodiments of the invention 4 are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 21 and 22 has shown the embodiment 4 according to arranging system of the present invention, editor and method of combination.

Present embodiment significantly is different from the foregoing description, and it forms a group with the information stores frame, and moves the information stores frame that belongs to this group, so that they have the predetermined relative positions relation.Hereinafter, will the part different with the foregoing description only be described.Part same as the previously described embodiments is represented by identical label, omits its explanation at this.

In the present embodiment, when carrying out, as shown in figure 21, at first jump to step S700 at the Stored Procedure described in the step S318 of Figure 13.

In step S700, select the moving area of selected information storage box, and jump to step S702.The information stores frame is arranged in the moving area, and jumps to step S706.In step S706, judge in the information stores frame of being arranged, whether to be provided with another information stores frame that constitutes this group.When judgement is provided with another information stores frame (being), jump to step S708.

In step S708, select all the out of Memory storage boxes in this group simultaneously.In step S710, select the moving area of all selected information storage boxes.At step S712, the same with above-mentioned selected information storage box, all out of Memory storage boxes are arranged in the moving area, and jump to step S714.In step S714, all information stores frames that are arranged in this group in the moving area are moved up, the lower end of these frames that align simultaneously, and jump to step S716.Judge whether the result who moves makes the upper end of any one information stores frame in this group arrive the upper end of moving area.When outreaching (being) for one in these information stores frames of judgement, jump to step S718 and subsequent step.In addition, when any one upper end in these information stores frames of judgement in step S716 does not all arrive the top (denying) of moving area, return step S714,, outreach up to the information stores frame with the mobile message storage box.

Then,, regard this position as the final layout position of determining, will publish information stores in each information stores frame at step S718.At step S720, according to the quantity of the information of publishing, the lower end of information stores frame is suitably enlarged or dwindle, finish a series of processing thus, and return initial treatment.

On the other hand, when judgement is not provided with any group (denying) for the selected information storage box in step S706, jump to step S714, and carry out subsequent treatment.

Figure 22 A is the sketch that is used to illustrate the layout process of present embodiment to 22C.

That is, Figure 22 A has shown six contents (publishing information) that find from content registered database 44 to 22C.Three contents (in the present embodiment, having stored the information of publishing and determined that the independent information of the size and the space of a whole page publishes frame) C1, C2 and C3 be positioned under the state on top of layout area 360, other three content C4, C5 and C6 are set type below oriented C1, C2 and C3, keep their position relation simultaneously.

In this case, form rectangle with constituting content C4, the C5 of composing in addition and the information stores frame 601,602 and 603 of C6.Information stores frame 601,602 and 603 belongs to " the group A " that form shown in Fig. 6 B under any condition.In addition, information stores frame 601,602 and 603 is arranged in respectively in three moving areas 604,605 and 606, these zones form in layout area 360, and these information stores frames can upwards move freely.

In the above-mentioned space of a whole page, when the information stores frame 601 that will be called as " label 1 " at first is chosen as the selected information storage box, shown in Figure 22 A, select the moving area 604 of information stores frame 601, and information stores frame 601 is arranged in the lower end (step S700, S702) of moving area 604.

Next, the out of

Memory storage box

602 and 603 that shown in Fig. 6 B, will be called as " label 2 " and " label 3 " be set to information stores frame 601 mutually on the same group in.Therefore, also selected information stores frame 602 and 603 simultaneously, and they have been arranged in the lower end (step S706 is to S712) of moving

area

605 and 606.

Then, all the information stores frames 601,602 and 602 in same group are moved up its lower end (step S716) of aliging simultaneously.When the upper end of any one arrives the upper end of moving area in information stores frame 601,602 and 603, even the out of Memory storage box can also move up, also the out of Memory storage box is arranged on the position at that time, to meet the position relation of mobile restricted information stores frame.

That is, shown in Figure 22 B, in the present embodiment, in oriented content C1, C2 and C3, the lower ends downward of content C3 is extended at most.When information stores frame 601,602 and 603 moves up when aliging up to the lower end, the upper end that is called as the information stores frame 603 of " label 3 " at first arrives oriented content C3.Therefore, even being called as the information stores

frame

601 and 602 of " label 1 " and " label 2 " can move up, owing to constitute the information stores frame 603 that is called as " label 3 " mobile restricted of this group with them, so information stores frame 601 and 602 does not move up, but be arranged at that time the position.

Then, the information of publishing is stored among information stores frame 601,602 and 603 (the step S718), and according to required quantity of publishing information, suitably enlarge or dwindle its lower end (step S720), therefore on layout area 360, content C4, C5 and the C6 that constitutes mutually on the same group set type.In addition, shown in Figure 22 C, in the present embodiment, owing to be stored in the capacity of the quantity of the information of publishing in the information stores frame 603 less than frame, so the lower end of frame 603 is upwards dwindled.

That is, have less lower end of publishing the information stores frame of information content, below this lower end, obtained wide moving area by dwindling.Therefore, if another information stores frame is arranged in this content below, will make moving area wideer, to increase the dirigibility of the space of a whole page.

As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, the information stores frame that is used to store related content has formed a group, and the information stores frame that will constitute this group moves up and arranges the lower end of aliging simultaneously.Therefore, do not consider not have havoc deviser's intention (i.e. " aliging in the related content lower end " layout theory) with the space of a whole page of the relation of the content of being located, article content, information content, logical organization etc.Therefore, can obtain the suitable space of a whole page that reflects that the deviser is intended to all the time.

In addition, in the present embodiment, generate the space of a whole page by the information stores frame that the moves up lower end of aliging simultaneously.Can obtain same effect from the space of a whole page that keeps its relative position relation or given position relation to generate by the upper end of alignment information storage box or the information stores frame that moves up simultaneously.In addition, when moving area is arranged on or under a plurality of places, and the information stores frame is arranged in the moving area, so that when horizontal direction moves, promptly, in the present embodiment, right-hand member and left end with layout area 360 half-twists while alignment information storage box can obtain identical effect.

Then, repeat this storage operation, in the digital content that is found at step S206, do not publish article.

Therefore, list all articles that are included in the digital content that is found, determined the output space of a whole page of digital content thus.

When having determined the output space of a whole page,, from user profile table 300, read the issue destination address by step S222 and S224.The digital content that will provide that is generated is published to the issue destination address.

In addition, in the present embodiment, contents distribution terminal 100 finds digital content based on the user profile in the user profile registered database 40 from content registered database 44.Therefore, select digital content, thereby the relative consistent digital content with user's request that will provide is provided by reference user's customizing messages and user appointed information.

In addition, in the present embodiment, contents distribution terminal 100 is determined the output space of a whole page of digital content, and generates the digital content that will provide based on the user profile in the user profile registered database 40.Therefore, select digital content, thereby use the relative consistent output space of a whole page that the digital content that will provide is provided with user's request by reference user's customizing messages and user appointed information.

Embodiments of the invention 5 are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 23 to 26 has shown the embodiment 5 according to arranging system of the present invention, editor and method of combination.Generate the space of a whole page by alignment as the corner that embodiment 4 forms the information stores frame of a group.As above-mentioned embodiment, in the present embodiment the part different with the foregoing description will only be described.Part same as the previously described embodiments is represented by identical label, omits its explanation at this.

The same with the foregoing description Page Template is set, and specifies the setting of " group A " as shown in figure 24.

Promptly, this specifies expression: move " group A ", keep simultaneously being called as " label 1 " the information stores frame the upper left corner and be called as relative position relation between the lower right corner of information stores frame of " label 2 ", and be called as " label 1 " the information stores frame the lower right corner and be called as relative position relation between the upper left corner of information stores frame of " label 3 ".

In addition, as shown in figure 25, three rectangular areas 701,702 and 703 are set on the layout area 360 in the present embodiment.The information stores frame 601 that will be called as " label 1 " is arranged in the middle part in zone 701, the information stores frame 602 that will be called as " label 2 " is arranged in the upper left corner in zone 702, and the information stores frame 603 that will be called as " label 3 " is arranged in the lower right corner in zone 703.Order according to information stores frame 601,602 and 603 describes the layout process in detail.In Figure 25, shadow region 604 and 605 is represented the moving area of information stores frame 602 and 603 respectively.

When at first selecting to be called as the information stores frame 601 of " label 1 ", as shown in figure 25, select to be used for the zone 701 of arrangement information storage box 601, and information stores frame 601 is arranged in the zone 701 (the step S810 of Figure 23 and DS812).

Next, other information stores frames 602 and 603 that as shown in figure 24, will be called as " label 2 " and " label 3 " are set to the identical group of information stores frame 601.Therefore, select information stores frame 602 and 603 simultaneously, and be arranged in respectively in the zone 702 and 703 (step S814 is to S816).

In this way, the information stores frame 602 that will be called as " label 2 " is arranged in the upper left corner of the information stores frame 601 that is positioned at the layout area center, and the information stores frame 603 that will be called as " label 3 " is arranged in the lower right corner (step S818) of information stores frame 601.When finishing this arrangement, that at first will be scheduled to publishes information stores (step S820) in information stores frame 601, and according to the quantity of the information of publishing, and information stores frame 601 is suitably enlarged in vertical direction or dwindles (step S822).

In the present embodiment, owing to publish the capacity of the quantity of information less than information stores frame 601, shown in Figure 26 A, the position of the upper end of fix information storage box 601, and dwindle its lower end with respect to the upper end.As the result who dwindles, the position of estimation between the corner of the information stores frame 601 at center and out of Memory storage box concerns (step S824).When the runout information storage box 601 of the corner of out of

Memory storage box

602 and 603, vertical moving out of

Memory storage box

602 and 603 is so that these corners overlap with information stores frame 601.

In the present embodiment, shown in Figure 26 B, because information stores frame 601 is reduced, and be positioned at bottom-right information stores frame 603 and separate, so information stores frame 603 moves up on moving area 605, so that the upper left corner of information stores frame 603 overlaps with the lower right corner of information stores frame 601, recover the preposition relation thus.

In addition, when the memory capacity of information stores frame 601 equates each other substantially with the quantity of the information of publishing, and information stores frame 601 does not enlarge or when dwindling, the processing of having omitted step S826 in Figure 23, and the processing of execution in step S828 immediately (information is published in storage).

Then, when information stores frame 601,602 and 603 recovers predetermined relative positions and concerns, with the corresponding information stores of publishing in out of

Memory storage box

602 and 603, and, as information stores frame 601, vertically enlarge or dwindle information stores frame 602 and 603 (step S828 and S830) according to the quantity of the information of publishing.

As the result who enlarges or dwindle, the position of estimation between the corner of the information stores frame 601 at center and out of

Memory storage box

602 and 603 concerns (step S732).When the runout information storage box 601 of the corner of information stores frame 602 and 603, vertical moving out of
